grain of salt

A metaphor used when information or advice should not be taken so seriously.

Peter: I read somewhere that we're going to war with North Korea!!
Mom: Where did you hear that from?
Peter: Someone commented on my Facebook post
Mom: It was probably sarcasm that you clearly missed on. There is definitely tension between the US and North Korea but not enough to go into War over. Take what they said with a grain of salt.

Obtain the Grain

just a way for one, ie. me, to flex on yall with their immaculate use of the english language by speaking as the ones important to society do, its the competent way of saying "lets get that bread"

I, an intellect: Lets obtain the grain

take with a grain of salt

To take a statement with 'a grain of salt' or 'a pinch of salt' means to accept it but to maintain a degree of skepticism about its truth.

The idea comes from the fact that food is more easily swallowed if taken with a small amount of salt. (take with a grain of salt)
